Summary:                          

New Mexico State University chemical engineering doctoral 

candidate Nasser Khazeni holds up a vial of metal-organic

frameworks he developed in his laboratory on campus. Khazeni

worked with the Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer Office at Arrowhead Center to obtain a provisional patent for the

technology, which captures atmospheric carbon dioxide.

This provisionally patented technology could revolutionize carbon

dioxide capture and help significantly reduce pollution worldwide.
